Question

Determine whether each ratio or rate is proportional. Explain your reasoning and write the proportion : Question #1) 24 points in 4 games; 48 points in 10 gamesQuestion #2) 15 songs for $5; 45 songs for $15

Answer 1

Given

Question #1) 24 points in 4 games; 48 points in 10 games

Procedure

Let's calculate the ratios for each of the expressions

$\frac{24\text{ points}}{4\text{ games}}=6\text{ point/game}$$\frac{48\text{ points}}{10\text{ games}}=4.8\text{ point/game}$

We can see that the ratios are different, therefore the two fractions are not proportional.
